Football Madness

This post is aptly named Football Madness. I am very much a football and soccer fan. Will happily forfeit sleep to catch up with the games. And here's some soccer and football news and updates:

Tiger Street Football Malaysia National Finals:

Nope...I did not play but I certainly was watching the fast paced Tiger Street Football Malaysia that pretty much left me breathless:D

Equal FC were crowned the winners of Tiger Street Football 2012 Malaysia National Finals, an edgy and unique football tournament organised by Tiger in partnership with ESPN STAR Sports for local street footballers to showcase their raw talent and put their skills the test against professional street football teams from other countries.

This adrenaline-pumping and fast-speed battles showcased the mastery of skills needed for this 5-a-side edgy street football. 32 local teams selected from across the country put up a high energy and fierce fight to the every end. Incorporating a five player-a-side formation with the combatants playing inside a unique street fenced oval pitch with no sidelines and a dynamic, continuous state of play with two five-minute halves and a two minute halftime interval.

Of course it wasn't just the competition itself or else some may have been bored. The event saw exciting activities for the street football fans and spectators off the pitch as well, with entertaining street-themed performances such as S3 from France. The highlight of the event was the special appearance by Tiger Street Football Ambassador, Dutch international football legend Edgar Davids, who is the global face for this new dimension of football.

Winners of the Tiger Street Football Malaysia National Finals tournament, Equal FC will be whisked off to Vietnam for the Grand Finals to play against national champions and international teams on 29th September 29 which will be broadcasted live on ESPN where the teams will be playing for the pride and glory of being named the Kings of Streets and the grand prize of US$30,000 (RM90,000).
